And this list has the superior position.
Many humans cannot vote. Children, for example -- do you argue against this? Arent they citizens? The children (or most of them) have not even committed felonies. My guess is that if Democrats could be certain children would vote for them, they would be for this too.
Nor do we let mentally incompetent persons vote. Against this too?
Non-citizens cannot legally vote either -- which basically brings us back to where we started. If you think people who snuck into this country illegally should be voting, then say so. At least let everyone know where you stand. Be loud and proud.
Back to felons. The adult position on felons voting is that we do not let criminals and the morally corrupt decide elections for the rest of us. Instead we set an objective, minimum level of human responsibility that must be met. Is this really too much for you? We requite some degree of trustworthiness, loyalty and respect for law be met before someone can participate in the American form of self-government. States that do not let felons vote understand this.
I would suggest that the states that do let felons vote understand this too, but choose to ignore it. Why? They have a single focus. The desire for political power and control overcomes all reason and rationality.
